Effect of acute spinal cord transection (SCT) at the T9/T10 level on reflex bladder activity. A: cystometrograms (CMGs) during intravesical saline or 0.25% acetic acid (AA) infusion before and after SCT. The infusion rate was 1 ml/min. B: summarized results from 12 cats. The open arrow in A marks the contraction that was used to determine bladder capacity after SCT. The bladder capacity was normalized to the measurement during saline infusion before SCT. The infusion rate was 1–3 ml/min. *Significant difference (P < 0.01 by a paired Student's t-test).
